BUCKINGHAM, Fort Myers, Florida
Buckingham is a gorgeous horse lovers paradise on the outer edge of Fort Myers, FL. Although it is very country, it is bordered by I75, route 82 and route 80. Route 80 goes directly into downtown Fort Myers so if a night on the town is a must, you have access! Route 82 heads out near the SWFL International airport (RSW) and beautiful Bonita Springs.

According to 'Neighborhood Scout', most of the homes in Buckingham have been built between 1970 and 1994, although there are many older and newer homes scattered throughout the area. The supply of homes in Buckingham is low compared to the demand for property. It is a beautiful place to live!
